Patent CA-2406328-A1 (CA)
Inventor: WELK PAUL
IPC: C22B3/44
Filed: 2002-10-15
Abstract: A process, in which precious metals, particularly the Platinum Group Elements, by a sequence of chronologically executed chemical and electrochemical procedures, are chemically separated and removed from an ionic complex acidic solution of precious and base transition metals as insoluble Black or simple sulfides of the Platinum Group Elements, that may be purified in acids, changed to oxides by roasting, and reduced to metals. The process is made possible by deviating from the traditional understanding of complex anions, and by regarding the ionic complexes as double salts, that can be isolated into their individual components, when removed from the solution of the primary acid.

IPC: H04N9/31
Filed: 2001-07-10
Abstract: A laser imaging system with reduced speckle is disclosed. The laser imaging system includes spatially superpositioned 1-D arrays or alternatively 2-D  arrays of independent emitters of laser radiation, with each emitter having a spectral bandwidth .DELTA..lambda.i centered at some arbitrary wavelength .lambda.0i. The elements of the array are allowed, by design, to have a slightly different central wavelength, thereby creating an ensemble bandwidth .DELTA..LAMBDA. which is much greater than the bandwidth .DELTA..lambda.i of any individual emitter in the array. The resulting increased bandwidth reduces speckle in a displayed image.
